When Avriel Barnett met a handsome young man as an 18-year-old trainee nurse in 1968, his life had already been changed forever.As a teenager, Glenn had suffered a high-level spinal injury that left him with permanent paralysis. What began as an unexpected love story became a long but rich journey of marriage, ministry, caregiving, disappointment, faith, quiet sacrifice and resilience.But this is not just Glenn's story.It's Avriel's too.In this honest and quietly powerful conversation, Avriel reflects on the choice to walk a road she knew would not be easy, even if she could not have understood at the time just how much it would ask of her.She talks honestly about marrying Glenn, supporting him through decades of ministry and the daily realities of his physical challenges, facing the painful rejection of their hopes to adopt, carrying responsibilities most people never saw, and wrestling with God when life felt unfair.She also shares the moments of grace that sustained her. The faith that grew in the middle of hardship. The strength she found when God didn't remove the difficulty, but changed something in her. The friendships, carers and community who walked with them, created memories, and brought unexpected joy along the way. And the new freedom and purpose she continues to find in serving, sharing her faith, volunteering, travelling and expressing more of her own gifts in this next chapter of life.This is a conversation about resilience that doesn't look polished or dramatic. Because sometimes resilience looks like taking the rubbish bin out all on your own, again and again.Sometimes it looks like pulling weeds from gardens you've planted.Sometimes it looks like accepting help after years of trying to carry too much on your own.And sometimes it looks like choosing to keep trusting God, even when the road remains long and hard.For anyone who feels forgotten by God, disappointed by life, unsure how to keep going, or simply wants to be inspired by an unassuming life that has been faithfully and beautifully lived, Avriel's story is honest, humble and deeply powerful.She shares her story not to draw attention to her own life, but to encourage you in yours.And that encouragement can be summed up in the simple words she offers near the end of the conversation: Don't give up.In this episode, you'll discover:How to keep going when the life you're living is not the life you imaginedWhy resilience often begins with a change in attitude, not just a change in circumstancesHow faith can grow in the middle of hardship, even when prayers are not answered the way we hopedWhy carrying everything alone can feel necessary, but accepting help can become a giftHow small rhythms, honest prayer, trusted community and purposeful service can help sustain us through long seasonsWhat it can look like to keep choosing joy, trust and faithfulness when the road remains hard… and much more.Explore More from Resilient Souls: Resilient Souls ⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠Resilient Souls ⁠⁠⁠Podcast⁠⁠⁠ or search ‘Resilient Souls' wherever you get your podcastsResilient Souls ⁠⁠⁠Blog on Substack⁠⁠ ⁠Stewart's ⁠Book⁠⁠⁠Follow Resilient Souls on: ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠Instagram /⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠Get Involved or Reach Out: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Join the Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Stewart to Speak⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the Work⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact Us⁠⁠⁠Need Help?

The receptor that switches off your appetite on a GLP-1 drug is the same one wired into your reward circuitry, your hormones, and your blood vessels, which means when you turn down hunger, something else may be getting turned down too, and for most people taking these drugs, nobody ever checked.In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:Why the same drug class can improve sexual function in men with obesity while potentially dampening it in lean or postmenopausal women — and why the deciding factor isn't the drug, it's the bodyHow rapid weight loss raises SHBG, the protein that soaks up free testosterone, so a "normal" total testosterone result can hide a real deficit your bloodwork won't flagWhy women make up 60–70% of GLP-1 prescriptions yet the entire evidence base for female sexual function is two case reports, with zero validated questionnaires in any pivotal trialThe three-tier action plan for anyone on or about to start a GLP-1 — baseline your sexual function first, get free testosterone tested, and protect muscle with protein and resistance trainingWhether you're on a GLP-1 drug or considering one, you'll walk away knowing exactly what to measure before you start and what to watch for after — so a change in your sexual health gets caught as the vital sign it is, instead of being quietly dismissed.Thank you to our sponsors:Cozy Earth - Go to https://bit.ly/44qcXtu for up to 20% off!

Every leader faces problems, and founders carry more than their share. In this episode of Growth Think Tank, Gene Hammett breaks down the leadership mindset shifts that separate leaders who get buried by their problems from those who grow because of them. The problem is rarely the real problem. The way you see it is. Gene shares three perspective shifts that change how you handle stress, setbacks, and the daily fires of running a company. You will learn why choosing growth over comfort builds the leader your business needs, how to move from victim to leader and take your power back from blame, and why letting go of control and empowering your team to take ownership is the real work of leadership. If you are a founder or CEO ready to turn your hardest problems into your next stage of growth, this conversation will change how you lead. Leadership is giving power away.

In this episode, we explore why teams sometimes struggle to execute without leadership involvement and why leaders may be too quick to blame execution itself. Often, the real challenge lies in unclear ownership, limited resources, competing priorities, or a lack of clear direction. We share a client example where repeated status checks and deadline pressure failed to solve the issue because responsibility had never been clearly defined. Along the way, we break down three essential delegation questions every leader should ask: What does success look like? When will it be completed? And will this person take ownership of the task through obstacles until it is finished? We also highlight how documenting expectations strengthens accountability, minimizes rework and repeated questions, and reduces the need for leaders to step in later.

But former National Lipid Association President Dr. Kevin Maki explains that LDL is just one piece of a much bigger picture and focusing on it alone can mean missing the markers that matter most.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Kevin Maki, former President of the National Lipid Association and co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, to discuss:Why ApoB and Lp(a) are better predictors of heart risk than LDL and why only about 2% of people ever get Lp(a) testedWhat a beef-vs-chicken feeding study revealed about red meat and cholesterol (the LDL results came back identical at 112 mg/dL)The evidence behind the seed oil debate, including why higher linoleic acid levels tracked with lower inflammation markers across a 2,000-person datasetWhy the balance of cholesterol-raising and cholesterol-lowering foods matters more than saturated fat aloneThe simple "ABCs" framework: A1c, blood pressure, cholesterol - for actually lowering long-term cardiovascular riskBy the end, you'll know which numbers actually predict heart risk, which tests to ask your doctor for, and how to cut through the conflicting noise around fat so you can make evidence-based decisions for the long haul.Thank you to our sponsors:OneSkin - Get 15% off at https://bit.ly/4tZnOpk with code DRLYONBodyHealth - Use the code LYON20 to get 20% off your first order https://bit.ly/48SJ7AC Amp - Visit https://bit.ly/3RcmqBz to get your AI-powered at-home gym for smarter, personalized training.Explore More from Dr. Gabrielle LyonPremium Podcast Subscription: Ad-free episodes, key takeaway summaries, exclusive Q&A, and behind-the-scenes content https://foreverstrong.supercast.comWeekly newsletter: Recipes, podcast updates, and practical weekly insights https://drgabriellelyon.com/sign-up/Apply to become a patient: Personalized care with Dr. Lyon's clinical team https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/Find Dr. Kevin Maki at:Midwest Biomedical Research: https://www.mbclinicalresearch.com/ LinkedIn: / kevin-c-maki-phd-497ba34 Connect with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/TikTok: @drgabriellelyon X (Twitter): https://x.com/drgabriellelyonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyon Chapters00:00 - Introduction00:31 - Dr. Kevin Maki and the National Lipid Association01:04 - New dietary guidelines and the LDL confusion02:04 - What raises and lowers LDL cholesterol03:51 - Cholesterol levels from birth through puberty05:11 - The lipid panel kids should get before age 1106:42 - Lp(a): the test only 2% of people get08:18 - ApoB and the three risky particle types11:35 - Do we have evidence for "lower is better"?14:09 - The FLASH-GLICK risk factor framework17:10 - The 10% saturated fat guideline explained19:36 - Many dietary patterns can be healthy24:50 - Beef vs. chicken: identical LDL results27:10 - The balance of fatty acids that matters29:24 - Olive oil vs. corn oil feeding study31:00 - Lower for longer: 40-year risk reduction34:15 - Genetic cholesterol disorders and risk40:33 - The omega-3 index and why it matters49:10 - Are seed oils really driving inflammation?53:11 - How seed oils are processed and refined1:07:48 - Inherited beliefs and outdated nutrition science1:08:54 - Butter vs. cheese and high-fat dairy surprises1:14:48 - Exercise effects on HDL and triglycerides1:21:20 - The ABCs of reducing cardiovascular riskIf you found this episode valuable, share it with someone who would benefit from it.Disclaimers: This episode includes paid sponsorships.The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Podcast and YouTube are for general information purposes only and do not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

In this interview, Matt Pierce, co-founder and CEO of Immediate, shares the story behind the company and its mission to give employees early access to wages they've already earned through a simple, flat-fee alternative to payday and title loans. He discusses Immediate's growth since 2019 to nearly 700 employees nationwide, and how the company is staying mission-driven while scaling in a competitive earned wage access market. Matt also talks about how they're building alignment through shared ownership and stock education, shifting toward strategic partnerships and larger clients, and learning from a past hiring mistake in sales. He closes by reflecting on his own leadership growth, especially around delegation, coaching, and developing stronger leaders across the organization. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 3:10 Immediate's Earned Wage Access 4:38 Fighting Payday Loans 6:40 Growth With Purpose 11:31 Building True Ownership 15:48 Scaling Through Setbacks 20:30 Learning to Let Go Key Takeaways Fast growth only works when the mission is actively reinforced through stories, not just stated in strategy documents. At Immediate, customer impact stories (avoiding late fees, accessing earned wages) keep teams aligned and motivated. Ownership is strengthened by structure giving employees equity changes how they think, decide, and act. Rapid sales expansion without clear ICP or territories created inefficiency and overlap, requiring a strategic reset. The company shifted toward strategic partnerships to scale more efficiently and improve enterprise reach. Founder leadership must evolve from "doing the work" to "coaching the team" to avoid becoming a bottleneck. Trusting the team and stepping back is essential for sustainable scale. This episode is a must-listen for CEOs and executives looking to lead innovation with purpose, scale responsibly with AI, and build cultures where people feel empowered to think boldly and grow. About the Guest Matt Pierce is the co-founder of Immediate, an earned wage access company helping employees access wages they've already earned, offering a responsible alternative to payday lending. Under his leadership, Immediate has scaled rapidly while focusing on mission-driven growth and financial wellness for workers across the U.S. How to Connect with Matt Pierce: LinkedIn: Matt Pierce https://www.linkedin.com/in/piercmb/ Company Website: https://www.joinimmediate.com/ – to learn more about his work and platform Get In Touch with Matt: https://www.joinimmediate.com/contact-us Resources & Next Steps Ready to take your leadership energy to the next level?

Colorectal cancer is now the leading cancer killer in adults under 50, and patients in their 20s are presenting with metastatic disease that has nothing to do with family history. Most physicians are still telling young patients with rectal bleeding that it's probably just hemorrhoids and that's costing lives.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Michelle Pearlman, a board-certified gastroenterologist and founder of a Miami-based gastro-metabolic clinic, to discuss:The specific warning signs every adult under 50 should never ignore, regardless of age including rectal bleeding, unintentional weight loss, and persistent abdominal painWhy GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Zepbound are being miscategorized as weight loss drugs when they're actually metabolic reprogrammers with applications in fatty liver, sleep apnea, and inflammationThe protein, fiber, and resistance training protocol Dr. Pearlman uses to protect muscle mass in patients on GLP-1 therapyHow hormone replacement therapy combined with GLP-1s is changing body composition outcomes for perimenopausal women and why current guidelines are still 20 years behind the dataDr. Pearlman's personal osteoporosis diagnosis at 39, despite being a lifelong bodybuilder, and what it revealed about the diagnostic gaps in standard medicineThis conversation gives you the framework to recognize the warning signs most physicians are still missing, and the foundational habits; nutrition, resistance training, and hormone optimization that protect your gut, bones, and muscle through midlife and beyond.Thank you to our sponsors: Cozy Earth - Go to https://bit.ly/4teXQhz for up to 20% off!

In this episode, we explore the hidden downsides of open-door leadership and how it can quietly impact productivity, focus, and team performance. While the intention is to create accessibility and strong communication, constant interruptions can derail priorities and create unintended bottlenecks. Drawing on research from UC Irvine, I share how frequent disruptions affect deep work, along with a real case study of a CEO who found himself overwhelmed by team dependencies. You'll hear how he restructured his leadership approach by setting clearer boundaries, empowering independent thinking, and implementing focused one-on-one meetings. The result was more time, stronger team confidence, and improved overall performance. If you're a leader looking to support your team without sacrificing focus, this episode will help you rethink how accessibility and accountability can work together.

You've scrolled past Mental Health Awareness Month posts thinking, “That doesn't apply to me.” Your business looks fine. On the surface, YOU look fine. But what if the very skills driving your success are quietly putting your mental health at risk? The ADHD-ish ™ Podcast tackles the conversations mainstream mental health awareness misses—especially for high-functioning ADHD entrepreneurs.For those with ADHD, the world often evaluates “functioning” based on visible output, and being able to run a business is seen as “high functioning.” But the trap is that the more capable and outwardly composed you appear, the less likely you—and others—are to notice when your mental health is slipping.This isn't about denial. It's the same creativity, drive, and resilience that helped build your business that masks the warning signs. What looks like ambition could be an ADHD brain that never learned to stop, rest, or celebrate. This is the hidden reality of ADHD entrepreneur chronic stress.Your ability to “power through” is precisely what puts you at risk for long-term exhaustion, burnout, and a quiet form of isolation.Four hidden risk categories:1. Cognitive TrapsThese are thinking patterns that feel like logic but quietly work against us. Do any of these sound familiar?The perpetually moving finish line (rest is always “after the next thing”)“I work better under pressure” — sound familiar? It's a seductive trap, not a strategy!Comparing your struggles to others and invalidating your own needs2. Nervous System ConfusionYou might think you're resting when you're actually just switching to a different kind of stimulation (hello, endless content consumption!). Genuine restoration often looks like boredom at first, but it's what your mind and body actually need.3. Recovery FailuresHigh-functioning ADHD people are notorious for skipping the habits that keep us steady, especially when we need them the most.Jumping right back into work after time off? That's the “vacation tax.”Ditching sleep, movement, and real food when stress rises? That's called “stress inversion.”Having no interests or life outside your business? That's a hidden drain on your energy and identity.4. Loss of Connection & IdentityBusyness can become a mask for loneliness. Relationships that aren't transactional quietly disappear, and your sense of self can erode until it's fused with your business. If your only role is “the one who has it together” for everyone else, this one may hit home especially hard.You are not broken. These patterns are the predictable result of managing ADHD in a career that rewards output and intensity. If you recognize yourself in this description, don't make it another to-do item. Instead, let this be an invitation: Pause. Notice.

In this episode of Openlove101, John and Jackie Melfi pull back the curtain on how their open relationship actually works—beyond the surface-level curiosity most people have. This conversation goes deeper than rules or logistics; it's about the emotional foundation, communication, and mindset that allow their relationship to thrive. They begin by sharing that their relationship didn't start open by design—but evolved into it. Long-distance dating forced them into deep conversations early on, creating a level of communication many couples don't reach until much later. That foundation became the backbone of everything that followed. Jackie opens up about coming from a traditionally monogamous background, while John had years of experience in the lifestyle. Instead of clashing, their differences created balance—allowing them to build something intentional, rather than defaulting to societal norms. What stands out most is their commitment to radical honesty. They didn't just allow outside experiences—they talked about them, shared them, and used them to strengthen their bond. Rather than creating distance, this level of openness brought them closer.   As their relationship deepened, they faced what most couples fear—jealousy, insecurity, and emotional attachment. Instead of avoiding those feelings, they leaned into them. Through communication, check-ins, and boundaries rooted in care (not control), they learned how to navigate those emotions together. One of the most powerful concepts they introduce is compersion—the ability to feel genuine happiness for your partner's joy, even when it involves someone else. Rather than competition, their relationship is built on celebration and support. They also challenge one of the biggest fears people have: "What if my partner falls in love with someone else?" John and Jackie explain that love isn't a limited resource. It's possible to love multiple people without diminishing the primary relationship—when trust and communication are strong.

Money and dating are rarely just about money—it's about values, identity and the stories we each bring into a relationship. In this Money Tales Deep Dive, Cammie Doder and Sandi Bragar unpack why money can feel so difficult to talk about while dating, whether you're in your 20s or later in life. From early impressions to deeper commitments, Sandi and Cammie explore how our individual money histories shape the way we show up and why avoiding these conversations often creates more friction than clarity. Drawing on insights from past Money Tales guests like Jeremy Savlov, Sarah Van Voorhis and the concept of “Getting Financially Naked” from Steve Demaray, this conversation reinforces a core truth: when we're willing to get honest about money, the stronger the foundation we build. Throughout the episode, the conversation moves from emotional awareness to practical application. Cammie and Sandi discuss navigating differences in spending, saving and financial expectations. They also highlight the importance of curiosity over judgment—understanding why someone thinks the way they do about money before trying to align on decisions. Whether you're just starting to date or building a long-term partnership, this episode offers a thoughtful lens on how to approach money conversations in a way that builds trust, not tension. Three Listener-Relevant Topics When to bring up money in dating – How early is too early and what signals it's time to go deeper?
